EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH FRANK ROCHE – MODERATE REPUBLICANISM IS WHERE $18T IN DEBT LIVES

Saturday, March 29th, 2014

 

 

PJMEDIA
by David Steinberg

(Author’s note: In looking to cover House primaries involving moderate Republican incumbents — particularly those enjoying the approval of current GOP House leadership — now receiving a strong challenge from the right, I was introduced to the candidacy of Frank Roche in North Carolina’s Second District

It’s a fascinating race. In the past month, Roche’s campaign to unseat Rep. Renee Ellmers has evolved into a case study of Tea Party/conservative gripes with national GOP leadership, a representative example of the current party rift. Each recent development received national attention; some of the developments were broken here.

Please do look back and examine the recent campaign coverage. The key theme I hope you take away from it — and be sure to apply this lens as you absorb similar news regarding national GOP leadership: A curious voter will soon know exactly what policies Roche supports, and how he intends to govern. Objectively, the same cannot be said of Ellmers.

Just this morning, Ellmers — who two weeks ago claimed she had the same immigration stance of Tea Party stalwarts Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, and of libertarian Rand Paul — published a half-page op-ed in the left-leaning Sanford Herald, a local paper generally supportive of Democrats.

Her topic? Supporting “public-private partnerships.”) 

——————————————–

Steinberg: With Renee Ellmers’ recent appearance with Laura Ingraham, her speech to the Moore County GOP convention, where she claimed to have the same immgration stance as Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul, this video that just surfaced of her berating constituents who actually do hold views similar to Cruz, Lee, and Paul — your primary has become a referendum about immigration policy and the GOP.

Your immigration stance — do you align your policy with those three?

Roche: I think I am probably a little more aggressive in my stance than the three senators, and certainly more so than Representative Ellmers.

I’m looking for something quite different than what we’ve experienced over the last four decades. And I’m not only talking about illegal immigration. We of course have to stop this once and for all by properly securing our borders, getting a handle on our short-term visa program, and, of course, dealing with those who are here illegally — which would not include amnesty, or anything like amnesty, or “path to citizenship,” or any other semantic twist of phrase they want to use.

But where I really want to put emphasis is the legal side of immigration. That’s where we need to make dramatic changes.

We need to sharply reduce our yearly legal immigration. We need to move away from family reunification as a basis for our immigration system, and to go back to a national origins-based system, one based on the economic interests of the United States.

Lastly, the other key metric here is that we must move away from official recognition of multiculturalism, identity politics, and political correctness. These social counterparts to our immigration numbers are what makes immigration so damaging to the United States, so divisive.

We can start by simply applying our current laws. We have strong laws on the books. It’s really not that difficult to come up with effective immigration policy, but it takes the courage to change what’s been in place for 45 years. (more…)

REP ELLMERS BACKS CONDITIONAL AMNESTY, FUELS PRIMARY CHALLENGE

Monday, January 27th, 2014

 

THE DAILY CALLER

Rep. Ellmers backs conditional amnesty, fuels primary challenge

North Carolina Republican Rep. Renee Ellmers says the federal government should allow illegal immigrants to stay in the United States, and should welcome a new inflow of foreign guest workers.

Her support for foreign workers is fueling a primary bid by Frank Roche, an economics lecturer at nearby Elon University.

At campaign events, any mention of Ellmers’ support for amnesty, Roche told The Daily Caller, ”always gets the crowd roiled up — they do not want it.”

“I’m advocating for a low level of immigration [and] no amnesty,” he said, adding that a good reform should minimize the impact on employers.

“We have significant portions of our economy that are dependent on immigrant labor,” said Roche, who worked in New York’s international banking sector for 20 years. “We need to move away from that via [greater] mechanization and a change in language to emphasize that all work is good.”

The race between Ellmers and Roche is one consequence of the push by top GOP leaders and business lobbies for an immigration bill that would sharply increase the inflow of low-wage foreign workers, despite the huge numbers of unemployed or non-working Americans. (more…)

BOOK REVIEW – THE FIVE STRUCTURAL BARRIERS TO AMERICAN STRENGTH AND PROSPERITY

Wednesday, July 17th, 2013

 

If you are looking for a good, easy to read book on why the U.S. recovery has been so painfully slow, Frank Roche’s new book, ‘The Five Structural Barriers to American Strength and Prosperity’ will lay out  the 5 main reasons that are holding our country back. 
  The policies that our government have been following since the 1960’s and 70’s just might have something to do with it.  Frank Roche discusses  our immigration policy, fiscal policy, U.S. international trade policy, regulatory policy and the U.S. education policy.     Nancy

THE FIVE STRUCTURAL BARRIERS TO AMERICAN STRENGTH AND PROSPERITY

  BY FRANK ROCHE,  Market Economist,  Adjunct Professor of Economics and capital markets expert

May 28, 2013

The weak cyclical recoveries from America’s first two recessions in the 21st Century are exposing a long camouflaged and ignored truth. That is, bad public policy as practiced by elected and appointed officials at the state and federal level since the 1960’s has engendered serious structural problems for the U.S. economy reducing potential real GDP, with cascading effects on employment, income distribution, and national savings while inducing higher levels of dependency on government for basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter. The structural damage done by too much immigration, too much debt, too many imports, too many laws, rules & regulations, and not enough quality education over the past 35-40 years has finally been revealed in the below potential performance of the U.S. economy. The empirical evidence is clear; the underlying U.S. economy is getting weaker not stronger.
Frank Roche takes several important issues facing America; gives you the data, graphs, and curves; pulls no punches; and lays out the problems in an easy manner to follow . Frank takes the heady stuff and explains the why. The writing style is friendly and conversational – which was totally unexpected. This is a good book and a great read for all of us who want the facts.

FRANK ROCHE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING

RUN FOR STATE TREASURER

CARY, NORTH CAROLINA – Former U.S. Congressional Candidate and local radio commentator Frank Roche stated today that he is seriously considering a run for North Carolina’s top investment officer.

Frank is a trained financial market economist with over 17 years experience in Capital Markets focused on the currency market. Frank is an accomplished currency trader and analyst, an Adjunct Professor of Economics at Elon University, a writer with expertise in monetary and fiscal policy, and he was a leading candidate for US Congress in 2010 from North Carolina’s 4th district.

“If I do decide to launch a campaign for State Treasurer, I can assure that it would be based a platform of reviving North Carolina’s investment strategies, translating economic data for investing and policy formulation, making North Carolina a jobs magnet, and helping the Governor and the NC Legislature reduce the state’s debt and return towards balance and fiscal stability,” said Roche.

Roche may be best known for is highly rated Sunday afternoon talk show on RUSH RADIO-106.1, WRDU-FM, where he deals with the serious issues of financial market economics, local & national politics, national security, international events, and culture always with an America First perspective.
